The Making Of 'Mistaken: The Real Story Of Richard Jewell'

Clint Eastwood’s film Richard Jewell is out and, as a piece that is critical of journalists, it generated discussion before the first ticket was even sold. Like Eastwood’s film, “Mistaken: The Real Story of Richard Jewell” follows Jewell’s descent from hero to villain in the court of public opinion. And, while "Mistaken" diverges from Eastwood’s film in a number of ways, it is also an invitation to think critically about the role of journalism and how we the public consume it.
